Process of Creating a Nursing Practice in Israel
The process of creating a nursing practice in a medical organization in Israel involves 8 systematic steps. These steps are derived from Kotler’s 8-step change model. These steps begin with the creation of urgency where discussions are held across in all divisions of an organization so as to address need of changing nurses’ role. The second step involves forming a powerful alliance with key members of the organization (Porat & Picker-Rotem & Shneider & Weingart-Eimerl…, 2011). The third step is the creation of a vision so as to achieve the desired change. The fourth step involves communicating organization’s vision to the stakeholders.
The fifth step involves empowering organizational members to take part in promoting the new vision at the departmental levels.

The last step is the anchoring of the corporate culture which involves intensively communicating the organization’s visions, development of leadership skills and managerial reserves with the objective of integrating this vision in management’s culture.
